Rhino Rack SX010 Operating instructions

  • I've reviewed the instruction document for the Rhino-Rack SX010 Crossbar. This document provides critical information including load limits for both urban and off-road conditions, as well as important safety precautions. I'm ready to answer your questions about the device and its proper usage.
  • What is the maximum load capacity for urban road use?
    What is the maximum load capacity for off-road use?
    What should I do before taking my vehicle to an automatic car wash with the crossbars installed?
    What type of ropes or straps should I use when fastening a load to the crossbars?
    How should I secure a load to the crossbars?
    Should I fix cargo to both the cabin and canopy?

Maximum load capacity: 50kg/110lbs - 100kg/220lbs. Please refer to your vehicle manufacturers handbook for
maximum roof load capacity, always use the lower of the two gures.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you rst install your crossbars.
Bolt connections should be checked and lubricated at regular intervals (probably once a week is enough, depending
on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the crossbars each time they are
retted. Make sure to fasten your load securely. Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre
of gravity is kept as low as possible.
Crossbars must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Caution: The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety rea-
sons we recommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must
be taken into account when cornering and braking.
Off-road Load Rating:
When crossbars are to be used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit for off-road
use, two crossbars = 33kg/73lbs - 66kg/145lbs. Although the crossbars are tested and approved to AS1235-2000,
off-road conditions can be much more rigorous. However, increasing the number of crossbars does not increase the
vehicles maximum permissible roof loading.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
